Since this wasn't directed at Kevin specifically, I felt that I as another
one of the core Myth developers could stick my $0.02 in. :)

Dude, you should have stopped while you were ahead.  I think the heat from
your <flame> got to your head.  He closed it because he committed his (own)
patch to SVN.  He opened the ticket to track a patch that he made.  He
acted on a few suggestions from a user and another developer, and then
committed the modified patch and closed the ticket.

Your "comment" in trac of "the, could i (respectfully) suggest that it is
not fixed, but partially fixed." is gibberish.

If a developer opens a ticket to track their own commits when adding
a new feature, it's up to them (and maybe the other developers in some
cases) to decide when it's fixed or not, not some user who posts gibberish
comments in trac.

People (ie the devs, myself included) are replying to those because of people
like you who put junk in our bug tracking system.  We don't need to spend our
time reading through clutter like your comment in trac.

Well, I won't ask why you care and I'll raise you by saying I don't care
why you care.  You apparently haven't listened to the "this is not a
discussion forum" comments we've made describing trac and decided to post
your comment there instead of the -dev list.  When you disregard developers'
requests such as this, it helps to negate any opinion you might have because
obviously you don't care about the developers' opinions.

Should have waited some more....
